Exhibit 13(a)(4)(i) – Change in Registrant’s Independent Public Accountant
On June 16, 2021, the fund’s Audit and Compliance Committee and Board of Trustees approved a
change to the fund’s independent registered public accountant. PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP
resigned and Deloitte & Touche LLP was appointed as the independent registered public
accounting firm for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2022.
During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2021 and the subsequent interim
period through June 16, 2021, there were no disagreements with PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on
any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope
or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to their satisfaction would have caused them to
make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in connection with their reports or
reportable events, as such term is described in Item 304(a)(1) of Regulation S-K of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. The audit reports of PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP on the
financial statements of the fund for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2021, did
not contain any adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to
uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.
During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2020 and March 31, 2021 and the subsequent interim
period through June 16, 2021, neither the fund, nor anyone on its behalf, consulted with Deloitte &
Touche LLP, on behalf of the fund, regarding the application of accounting principles to a specified
transaction (either completed or proposed), the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the
fund’s financial statements, or any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement or a
reportable event, as such terms are described in Item 304(a)(1) of Regulation S-K of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
The fund requested that PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP furnish it with a letter addressed to the
Securities and Exchange Commission stating whether PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP agrees with
the statements contained above. A copy of the letter from PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP to the
Securities and Exchange Commission is filed as an exhibit hereto.
